As a Ugandan, it was a honour to produce a story of my hero, the bravest Ugandan of our time. #Ugandans & the world will for ever be grateful to Philly Bongoley Lutaaya (RIP) #Uganda #HIV bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…

@mohammedhersi Is witchcraft a criminal offence😂

Africa is full of surpsises Ugandan police arrested a man for witchcraft, took him to court, and he responded by inviting bees to the court. Everyone was attacked by the bees. He didn’t get a single sting. Interesting to see a man running around with a fire 🔥 extinguisher. Earth is hard , best such guys are left in peace.

@hillarytaylorvi @HEBobiwine Should the private invitation of one on one meeting be made public?

my leader, @hebobiwine, came in the room i was with elizabeth, greeted me warmly with a duchenne smile, and we shook hands. he then sent a third party to propose a one-on-one meeting to address our differences directly and find common ground.

@JulietKamz @KagutaMuseveni Why is Mama Janet wearing a winter jacket indoors in Uganda🤔

@KagutaMuseveni A warm welcome to Maama Anna Mkapa. The Uganda–Tanzania relationship is built on sacrifice, trust, and Pan-African solidarity. We value this enduring friendship. #WhyUgDecidedM7

Maama Janet and I welcomed Maama Anna Mkapa who paid us a courtesy call at State House Entebbe. We had warm and cordial discussions and reflected on the historical bonds between Uganda and Tanzania. I welcome her to Uganda.

@YN_BUDDU Banange😳

Uganda's regime sycophants-in-chief in one image. Our very own Tweedledee and Tweedledum in one image. #Priceless 😂😂😂🙌🏾🙌🏾

@elonmusk Okey

Our ancestral land of Britain must not fall

Former prince #Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested. Police: "We will not be naming the arrested man, as per national guidance. Please also remember that this case is now active so care should be taken with any publication to avoid being in contempt of court." LOL

@NUP_Ug 10 mins slot is short to nightlight everyone suffering under this regime on this peace summit. But @HEBobiwine should have give a 5second mention of the @kizzabesigye1

The President will today address the Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy. Register now via genevasummit.org to follow the proceedings live.

So, months later, the state ‘doesn’t know’ where Sam Mugumya is. No update, no indication of ‘efforts to look for him’. It’s business as usual. It’s normal. But we still have guts to condemn Amin for disappearances.

@AKasingye Not Mansfield Town?

5th round FA cup draw. Arsenal will play Manchester United away from home, at Old Trafford.

@daddyhope When I found out that people were eat baby goats, I was disgusted.

@lindseyhilsum #ugandaelections2026 , we hope so

I guess it has been decided that these tweets are less than helpful to the national cause #Uganda

@AbbottBirungi lol, Banange!

Problem of everyone wanting to sound brilliant. So Chinua Achebe wrote Animal farm ????

@cobbo3 I may have missed, where was the job ad?

Uganda President Museveni directs appointment of former BBC journalist Alan Kasujja as chief of the state's Media Centre. Kasujja left the BBC in August, 2025. He was the lead presenter on its World Service’s Newsday & hosted its Africa Daily podcast. dailystar.co.ug/museveni-direc…

@cobbo3 Naye Banange!!

@AndrewMwenda You must have the most difficult job in the whole world!

Here, a USA senator, Jim Risch of Idaho and also chairman of the foreign relations committee of the Senate, is threatening Uganda and calling for sanctions against our CDF. This is the more insulting because America has no legal, not to mention moral, authority to make these statements. Uganda is a much more responsible state in respecting the rights of her citizens than his country. The USA is a county that just recently kidnapped a head of state of a sovereign country without justification under international law; is threatening to invade and annex another county (Greenland) which is a territory of a fellow ally in NATO, and is conducting mass arrests her own citizens and deporting them on allegations that they are illegal immigrants just because of the color of their skins of the accent in their language. More than this, the USA with only 4% of the world population has 26% of all prisoners in the world. And although black people form 10% of the USA population, they form 46% of this country’s prison inmates. Basically, the criminal justice system is not one for seeking justice but is used as an instrument of racial domination of black people. All this is not to mention that a black man is killed by police every 28 hours just because of the color of their skin. How can an apartheid-prison-state like this claim moral authority to comment on Uganda’s internal politics and even threaten sanctions? This is not about human rights and the rule of law. It is about power, raw power. America is saying that just because they are rich and powerful, they have a right and duty to dictate who governs uganda and how it is governed. Regarding the threats of sanctions on to CDF, I should say they are very, very welcome. The same America declared Nelson Mandela a terrorist and the ANC a terrorist organization for fighting apartheid in South Africa. Mandela was removed from the list of America’s terrorists not in 1990, when he was released; not in 1994 when he became president, not in 1998 when he addressed the joint house of congress, but in 2007. The attempt to see a spec in other people’s eyes while having a log in its own has been a practice of USA foreign policy for the last 85 years. This use and abuse of its power and international institutions and laws was recently well articulated by Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, at the recently concluded Davos meeting. America is threatening to annex Canada, perhaps the reason Carney is speaking out after decades of his country’s silence and complicity in America’s crimes. My point is simple but fundamental: American interference in our politics is unacceptable, unwelcome and unhelpful. The senator is advised to focus on protecting the rights of his own citizens: native Americans, black and Hispanic people and poor white people. Please stop diverting attention from the appalling domestic problems in your country by directing your gaze at others. In fact this constant shift of attention from internal human rights abuses and electoral fraud (which President Trump has talked about often) is the reason America’s decline has become terminal. Please leave us alone as save your own country.

@IsaacSsemakadde Why?

Painfully a conman.

Fellow Ugandans, last night when my mother was under attack by military goons, I found myself needing to sound an alarm to whoever could listen. In the heat of that emotionally charged moment, I ended up using very indecent language and addressing you in a disrespectful way, which i deeply regret. I realize that it was wrong and I apologize for that and I hope you all will understand that it was short lived anger and frustration. I also want to appreciate all of you that responded to my distress call last night when my mother was under attack at home.

Message to President Yoweri Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda Mr. President @KagutaMuseveni , On the 15th of January 2026, you contested in the Ugandan presidential elections. On the 17th of January 2026, you were declared the winner of that election by the Electoral Commission. Since that time, videos and recordings have continued to surface of you referring to those you contested against—and their supporters—as terrorists. There have also been continued reports of army and police crackdowns on civilians, particularly in the central region that voted more heavily for opposition candidates than for you and the NRM party. One of the candidates you contested against, Robert Kyagulanyi, has had his home under siege since the day of the elections and has been forced into hiding for his safety to date. On the 23rd of January 2026, his home was again attacked at night by masked armed individuals—some in army and police uniforms and others in civilian clothing. Accounts shared on social media by Barbie Kyagulanyi describe unauthorized entry, threats and assaults on her and their household staff, destruction of property, and theft of phones, electronic devices, CCTV equipment etc.  Another opposition Member of Parliament, Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi, a Vice President of the National Unity Platform (NUP) for the Central Region, has been charged with terrorism for allegedly attacking a police station. These charges contradict earlier reports indicating that his home was attacked on election night by armed men in uniform, resulting in the deaths of 10 people. Two other Vice Presidents of NUP—Dr. Lina Zedriga (Northern Uganda) and Jolly Tukamushaba (Western Uganda)—have also been reported on social media as having been abducted. Their whereabouts remain unknown to date. Another key opposition leader, Dr. Kizza Besigye, is in unlawful detention. He has been reported to be in poor health and denied access to his doctors. A Catholic priest, Father Ssekabira, is in prison, among other reasons, for associating with Robert Kyagulanyi, an opposition leader. Civil society organizations have been de-licensed. Activists such as Sarah Birete are in prison on questionable charges. Many other Ugandan citizens are missing or in unlawful detention for their political views or for supporting opposition candidates. Mr. President, you are the President of Uganda and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. Your son is the Chief of the Defence Forces. Can all of the above be happening without your knowledge or consent? If you did not authorize or consent to the above actions, what steps have you taken to restore discipline and legality within the army and police, especially when they operate under your direct authority? You campaigned on the theme of protecting the gains. As a citizen, I ask: what does that mean in practice? Does it mean placing opponents under siege, arresting them, labeling them terrorists, and imprisoning them for indefinite periods? The Constitution of Uganda—enacted under your leadership—provides for multiparty democracy and allows candidates dissatisfied with election results to seek redress before the Supreme Court. When opposition leaders are hunted, their homes surrounded by armed men, and their parties terrorized, are those constitutional guarantees still meaningful? This pattern did not begin in 2026. It has been ongoing against different political actors, with the latest targets being NUP leaders and supporters. As a country Uganda, are we moving forward, or are we moving backwards? If you genuinely won this election, why prevent opposition leaders from using lawful and constitutional means to challenge the election results if they wish to? What peace is being protected when some sections of the population do not live in peace? Do we have one Uganda, or two? 1/2

Message to President Yoweri Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda. (Continued 2/2) Mr. President, @KagutaMuseveni Many Ugandans have been forced into exile, fearing for their lives. Others have been pushed to seek employment in foreign countries where their safety and well-being are not guaranteed, simply to fend for themselves and their families. Among those in exile is the President of the Uganda Law Society, Isaac Ssemakadde. I, a former Justice of the Supreme Court of Uganda, and many other Ugandans are currently living involuntarily in exile, having been forced to flee for fear of our lives. Your election win was secured in darkness in the midst of a nationwide Internet shutdown. The statements and actions that have followed since you were declared the winner continue to raise questions whether you actually won the election. If you won legitimately, repression is unnecessary. If repression exists, legitimacy is in question. Your manifesto did not include hunting down those who didn't support you.  Elections in any democratic country are competitive. They are always people who support the candidate who emerges as the winner and those who support other candidates in the race.  So is Uganda different from other countries. Did you expect all Ugandan voters to vote for you? Is there a country where that happens? Mr. President, you spent many years fighting for freedom. You have been in leadership for over 40 years. The country is walking on the roadmap you set in motion when you took over power by the gun in 1986, which resulted in the 1995 Constitution of Uganda that came into effect under your leadership.  Mr. President, you were born Ugandan, like the citizens now living in fear, prison, or exile. Uganda is our only country. We did not choose to be born in Uganda, but we must live in our motherland. I write to you as a citizen addressing a leader entrusted with immense power and responsibility. You control the army, the police, the Electoral Commission, and state institutions. With that control comes responsibility. Please put our house (Uganda) in order by: 1. Exercising your authority as President of Uganda to restore the rule of law so that Ugandans can live without fear. 2. Exercising your authority as Commander-in-Chief to stop abuses by security forces and ensure all state institutions act within the law. 3. Allowing all citizens and political actors to exercise their constitutional rights without fear. 4. Returning the country to constitutional governance, where courts function independently, political activity is lawful, and citizens are not punished, exiled, imprisoned, or silenced for their political views. 5. Stop labeling political opponents and their supporters as terrorists or as confused. 6. Stop the violence and the killings. As Commander-in-Chief, you must ensure that all suspects are handled through lawful arrest and tried before competent courts, not executed by security forces. 7. Stop the abductions of opposition leaders. 8. Stop terrorizing Ugandans who support other political parties. 9. Stop the siege on your political rivals’ homes. 10. Stop labeling political opponents as terrorists. Uganda deserves dignity. Uganda deserves justice. Uganda deserves peace. FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY. Respectfully, Justice Dr. Esther Kitimbo Kisaakye. Former Justice of the Supreme Court of Uganda. January 25, 2026
